NEXUS UNBOUND: REDEFINING URBAN RESILIENCE AGAINST FLOODS

In a world with incessant natural and factitious disasters, how equipped is mankind to intercept unpredictable catastrophes? Of these, repeated flooding has become more frequent and severe in recent years leading to mass destruction and high fatality rates. Adaptable structures with responsive technologies and iterative design strategies, cater to environmental needs and human comfort. Vulnerable places like Cianjur, Indonesia, underscore the urgency for resilient urban design for flooding. The thesis designs a system that can be deployed in the town of Cianjur to minimize damage from floods. It aims to introduce resilient and customizable structures with ingenuity and precision. It focuses on structures accommodating disaster-hit victims, in the most efficient and optimizable forms possible.
